Hi Folks,

 Just gathering data about the subject line - elearning manager role, time
and recognition.

I know of schools where the role is:

1.        Solely assisting other teachers to embed elearning in their
classes, sort of an elearning coach with hands on team teaching active
involvement in the classes of colleagues. Elearning as leading teacher role,
only 1 class to teach, no involvement with infrastructure or laptops or any
other duties. Plus 2 assistants allocated to help around 3 periods per week
in a 30 period week. 

2.       Part 1 plus laptops, plus infrastructure responsibility if not
entirely hands on,  plus ultranet rollout with time release around  6
periods per week in a 30 period week.  No assistants allocated to help.

3.       Anything in between 1 and 2.

Do others have any other variations on this ?  Rationale ? Justification ?
Expected targets and over what period ?

Any other suggestions or experiences welcome.

Kind regards

Kevork Krozian

Subject: Re: [elearning] Teaching Kids To Think Using Scratch

we use it at Wallan SC with year 7 students ->  4-5 week intro; basic
efforts, then create script to navigate through a maze. This has been at
Wallan for at least two years.

I intro'd them to   learnscratch.org  which has accelerated the learning of
the more able students - allowing them to progress at their own pace

Some get distracted by the pretty factor butmost do quite well.  Older
students still like ot thave fun with it - mostly for making games - even my
year 10 students

Nice k12online conference presentation about Scratch

Scratch is a simple yet powerful programming language for children that is
very easy to use yet contains many of the important programming constructs
found in more "grown up" languages. This presentation looks at some of the
key ideas behind programming in Scratch, explores some possible tasks that
students could be given to encourage problem solving and higher level
thinking, and finishes with a snapshot of a student view into how Scratch is
making a difference to learning.
